Ps2 - Network Adapter pics _ seen it here first

I gotta get a keyboard too, using the DS2 stinks for chat. - CignusXI

Well DUH, I could have told you that. Never use a controller for chatting, it\'s just plain crap. Now, I have a question. I have a ton of old keyboards and mice laying around my house. None of them are USB though, they\'re all PS/2. I can\'t see the problem in just going to Radioshack and buying a few PS/2 - USB adaptors. It\'d be a helluva lot cheaper than buying a brand new KB & Mouse. Are there any problems using the adaptors? If one of you guys could pick up one at RadioShack and let us know, I\'m sure you\'d make a lot of people here very happy.

(99% sure it will work, but you never know....)

What do you mean, it runs on it\'s own?? You mean I could plug my line right into the PS2 and get on the net, with no "modem"??

Thing is though, my DSL line is just a plain old phone line (not ethernet--big plug), so I can\'t plug into the ethernet port of the BBA.

Do they have converter cables that convert a phone jack into a ethernet size jack?

When you said DSL, I assumed you meant a DSL modem.  DSL is just a regular phone line up until the modem, then it is ethernet cable.  The modem works on its own and you could probably plug your ps2 straight into the modem.  If you want to use your computer with it as well then you would plug both the Computer and the PS2 into a Hub, then the hub goes into the DSL Modem, that then plugs into your phone jack.

Yes you could go wireless if you wanted to..

PS2-USB adapters should work fine...

And no, I am not the son of sam...
